Everyone picks the Front-End that works best for them.  In my case, I have
always used Winboard for Telnet play, as it has every feature I need, including
a large adjustable board :)

I have Chesspartner and Arena, which are both playable on Telnet, but WB is for
me :)

I would like to seem upgrades for WB, but it does not look like Tim Mann will
ever work on his project ever again. Take a look at all the great GUIs and
transpose their best features to Winboard, that would make me happy :)
